Help the Common Text Committee Select 2017-18 Text

Help the university Common Text Committee select the
2017-18 book and be entered in a drawing to win great prizes, including a $25
Barnes & Noble Bookstore gift card.

The common
text committee is comprised of
faculty, staff, and students and follows a charter from the Provost, who makes
the ultimate decision. For the
2017-2018 academic year, the committee has chosen two finalists based on a list
of criteria that includes length, readability, and opportunities for concurrent
programming, among others. The finalists are Just Mercy: A Story of Justice
and Redemption by Bryan Stevenson and The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in
the Age of Colorblindness by
Michelle Alexander.

Each year,
the committee invites the university community to read these finalists and
provide feedback via an online survey. This year’s survey will be available
until Sunday, August 28th. Please comment on the survey only
if you have read both titles. https://wright.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_3qOkqbA19bf4btj
